| Your safest bet would be to rename the current, allocate the new and copy mem over. To dynamically redefine the lrecl, you risk loss of data. |

Look at my longer post from Friday, the person had a pds originally 80 lrecl, that he suddenly found with a 121 lrecl. The gener job fixed it, in other words, modified that parameter - the lrecl. |

I dint understand how he managed to change the LRECL from 80 to 121 while doing XDC.
Thanks

| Code: |
HELP: Job Data Set Panel -- Action Characters Panel 2 of 2
COMMAND INPUT ===>
V View a job's page-mode data sets using GDDM.
X Print output data sets. You can add the following:
C - Close the print file after printing (XC)
D - Display the Open Print Data Set panel (XD or XDC)
F - Display the Open Print File panel (XF or XFC)
S - Display the Open Print panel (XS or XSC) |
An XDC gives you a this
| Code: |
SDSF Open Print Data Set
COMMAND INPUT ===> SCROLL ===>
Data set name ===>
Member to use ===>
Disposition ===> (OLD, NEW, SHR, MOD)
If the data set is to be created, specify the following.
Volume serial will be used to locate existing data sets if specified.
Management class ===> (Blank for default management class)
Storage class ===> (Blank for default storage class)
Volume serial ===> (Blank for authorized default volume)
Device type ===> (Generic unit or device address)
Data class ===> (Blank for default data class)
Space units ===> BLKS (BLKS, TRKS, CYLS, BY, KB, or MB)
Primary quantity ===> 500 (In above units)
Secondary quantity ===> 500 (In above units)
Directory blocks ===> (Zero for sequential data set)
Record format ===> VBA
Record length ===> 240
Block size ===> 3120 |
and if you point the output of the print to an 80 byte lrecl pds, things will change. |
